We serve only what we eat

Sakae Sushi is a good place for those looking to try Japanese food for the first time. Their menu offers popular Japanese fare like sushi, sashimi, tempura, Japanese noodles like soba, ramen and udon, yakimono, teishoku and much more at affordable prices. Their primary focus is sushi; each restaurant has a kaiten belt bringing sushi around the premises for the convenience of diners. The restaurant is also child friendly, offering balanced kid’s meals presented in creative arrangements.

Besides sourcing fresh ingredients worldwide Sakae Sushi also subjects their ingredients for inspections to maintain their food safety and hygiene standards. The rice used for their sushi is enriched with extra Vitamin E.

Since its founding Sakae Sushi has opened many outlets worldwide. Sakae Sushi operated in The Curve since the early days of the mall; located in The Street between e@Curve and The Curve.

Funny story--once when I ate here, we saw a rat running around on the floor. Now, I'm not afraid of rats--in fact, I think they're kinda cute, but... rats in a restaurant??? They've renovated since then, and I've only been back once. The food is so-so. It's not too expensive, so I guess you're getting what you're paying for. Basically, everything that I've ever tried here has been average quality at best.

I love Sakae Sushi. As mentioned in a previous review (Sakae Sushi @ Paradigm), the best feature is ordering through the iPad. It's super simple to order and works extremely well. Simply go through the menu and order whatever u want, whenever you want it. You can take your own sweet time to decide what you'd like, instead of having someone waiting menacingly to take your order.

The other great thing here is that every table sits beside the sushi train, which is huge and runs around the whole shop. So everyone gets a chance to grab their sushi when it comes by. I love always love getting a snack before the main order comes.

For this visit, there were 5 of us. We ordered their special CNY Prosperity Yee Sang. It was amazingly good and fun for the price (RM38 for 5-6 pax). We also ordered plenty of other things, which I won't get into much detail here. As a chain, they're really good but they can't beat authentic sole-proprietor owned restaurants (i.e. Fukuharu). Nevertheless, their prices are pretty reasonable so it's all good.

If there's anything I could fault, it's that the service staff isn't that well trained. I guess that's the price you pay for having so much reliance on the iPad. Yet, they still charge the now 'obligatory' 10% service charge that most restaurants in KL are doing nowadays.
